Reviews

This is a great product.

I had read good reviews of the Hannabach 815s so I was anxious to try them. What I didn’t know was their “tension classification” is very different from other makers (e.g., D’Addario, Savarez, Ramirez, etc.). I put on the medium tension strings and could tell immediately they were significantly higher tension.

I did some research, and Hannabach’s are much higher tension than similarly classified strings from other makers. The Hannabach MT is higher tension than the D’Addario EJ46 (high tension), big difference! The Hannabach SLT (super low tension) is equivalent to the D’Addario EJ45 (medium tension). So, I removed the Hannabach 815 MT set and put on some spare D’Addario EJ45s.

All that said, the limited exposure I had to the Hannabach 815 MTs makes me think they have a lot of potential. So, I ordered a set of the 815 SLTs and will write a review of them once I try them out.

works well for me in “concert” with an over-shoulder snug but not tight strap attached to the head and bottom of the guitar. four points of constraint. adding the gitano makes me feel i’m sitting down to the instrument, like when i play piano, rather than managing it.

especially also since it folds and fits in the case.

This was a direct replacement for the tuner on my c10 that broke. Note that the description is based on a right handed user when referencing bass/treble side. I I have a left handed guitar so I ordered the bass side to fix my left handed treble side. Fit perfectly and was easy to replace using the same four screws holding in the original tuner.

I wrote a review a few days ago regarding the strings I purchased where one of the sets I used to re-string with had a N String that was too short. My opinion.

Geoff wrote within minutes asking me to confirm which string it was. I confirmed the B string as being shorter than the others and short enough that I was not comfortable using it.

Geoff offered to refund the string set without it being asked for and refunded half the shipping. Again without it being asked for. I offered to waive a refund as the strong defect was not his fault but Geoff initiated the refunds.

I will be a return Customer because of his attention and treatment of his Customers. If only more companies valued its Customers as Geoff does!

Really a great product. It has tremendously helped my practicing, I no longer have to stop to get oriented. The "dots" are easily installed if you take your time doing it.

Fits my parlor size guitar perfectly! The adjustability is wonderful. Highly recommend.

Just trying out some new strings on my new guitar. These sound really good on my 7P Alhambra. Still have to play them in more, but they seem to settle pretty quick. XGuitars is an easy company to work with.

Fits perfectly. Just file the bottom down to get the proper action.

Instant shipping, great product!

I am thoroughly enjoying my Ramirez Estudio 140. My earlier classical guitar was the basic factory produced Ramirez I bought at Guitar Center in early 2000s. The quality of the Estudio 140 far surpass what I had before. The sound is amazing and the setup was perfect. I enjoy playing it so much other areas of my life are starting to suffer.

Only use this product when playing and Practicing and remove right after, Fast shipping good service.

I recently purchased this guitar from xGuitars based on an internet search for Classical guitars. I looked at several different brands and settled on the Alhambra. I chose xGuitars from the reviews and research. I could not be more satisfied with entire process from placing the order, stringing it with the suggested Savarez Corum New Cristal strings, to delivery! They even held my shipment until the cold snap subsided which I appreciated. Now it is a gorgeous guitar, expertly built and I love the tonal qualities. I have not played it much yet but will find time to fit it in my arsenal. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to make purchase. Big shoutout to Geoff Ferdon and his staff for a great job and an easy website to make the purchase. Lastly, the Gig bag that came with the guitar is first class and probably the best that I have seen and I have several Taylor acoustics with Gig bags not as nice.

Finally got around to restringing my guitar with Knobloch Carbon Actives and they sound amazing. These strings have pure, natural tone, very full and well balanced. They have great intonation and carry more sustain. I'm very happy with these strings. Definitely worth the price. Thanks Geoff!

I'm very satisfied and pleased with purchasing the left-handed Alhambra 9P model from Xguitars. The guitar is perfectly made and is an absolute joy to play. Many thanks to Geoff for all his help.

Lovely capo! It works well. I love that he includes instructions for repair so it can last a long, long time. One thing I would suggest is including brief instruction, or a link to instruction, as to how to put the capo on and take it off the guitar.

Arrived ahead of schedule, the sound is amazing.

The recommendation to use these strings paid off!

Thank you again for an excellent recommendation.

I recently ordered from X Guitars a set of Cantiga 510 AJ strings to try on my
Cordoba orchestra ce. I am really pleased with the results and will definitely
order more.

I recently received my Ramírez Del Tiempo spruce. Fantastic guitar! Setup was spot on. Has the Ramírez sound and I think it is a steal for $3000. I play all styles and have been playing on and off for 60 years. Easy to play. Geoff did a wonderful job. I recommend players check out this beauty.
All the best,
Charlie

This was my birthday gift from my daughter. Geoff recommended me this guitar for the budget I like to spend on her. I am hoping this would be my significant upgrade from the one I have been playing for the last 12 years. It arrived on time as promised. Tune it and played. I am very pleased with the sound quality, the craftmanship and the beauty of the instrument. The set up is spot on. Geoff was being upfront with me that this instrument was a 2024 model. Overall, I had a very good experience in getting this guitar from Geoff and I would recommend Xguitars to anyone.

I gave my guitar to my granddaughter for Christmas, and ordered for it the D'Addario EJ43 Pro Arte
Light Tension Classical Guitar Strings. They are exactly as was promised on the XGuitars website. I received an email at every stage of tracking. They arrived on the day they were promised. They were in secure, sealed packaging. I had no issues while dealing with XGuitars. I do not see how this experience could have been any better. My granddaughter loves the feel of the strings. She has the outer packaging so she can reorder when she needs to. No doubt she will. Thank you, Geoff!

I recently purchased the Alhambra Premier Pro Madagascar from XGuitars, and the guitar is a beauty! The aesthetics of the guitar, the action, the balance and the sound of the guitar are wonderful. Doing business with Geoff Ferdon was professional. Geoff Ferdon is very knowledgeable about guitars, and I was confident doing business with him. I have been playing guitars for 55 years and have had many guitars. This guitar surely lives up to its reputation for the price ratio. I would recommend this guitar and XGuitars with no hesitation to anyone looking to purchase a classical guitar. This is the online place to shop. Thank you to Geoff Ferdon.

Being new to classical guitar strings, I decided to go with this recommendation. They sure enhanced the sound of my Alhambra 4P. XGuitars will be my source when I need new strings and need advice.

I am very satisfied with the 4P. The craftsmanship and sound extended my expectations. It is such a pleasure to play and it inspires me each time I play it. Without hesitation, I will recommend XGuitars and it will be my source for any new guitar and strings.

I purchased these because I was looking for smooth tuning machines and the deluxe posts with guide bushings promised that. The install was a straight fit - super easy but performance-wise, I'm not impressed. The high E string is super hard to turn compared to the others and the D string still has the occasional pop when tightening the string. The tuning machines look great but don't perform for the $ paid. I don't recommend these.
